Jim O'Shea, the creator of Happy Valley, will soon be launching a new monthly event at Mai. Click here to see a slide show of images from the last Happy Valley (photo: Heather Byrd/The Tennessean).

Happy Valley, the monthly electro dance bash, usually resides downtown at Aerial. The most recent installment, however, moved uptown to Mai because of a lack of heaters and tents for the outdoor patio at the regular venue.

However, the move did little to deter the crowd of supporters. Indeed, it proved the ideal opportunity for promoters Jim O’Shea and DJ Jeremy Todd, aka Coach, to talk up their soon-to-launch new event, Bang Out. The party will take place at Mai each month, joining the promoters’ roster of ongoing events. (They also host Swag, a monthly party in Murfreesboro.)

“Bang Out will be similar to Happy Valley, but with nationally known DJs such as Skeet Skeet, Designer Drugs and many more,” O’Shea said. “Bigger cities do these types of parties all the time, so we are kind of trying to tap into that and give Nashville something that we feel like it’s missing.”
